Inatable Products – Aquaglide makes some of the highest quality inatable products in the world.

With proper care and maintenance, our products are expected to last for years under normal use. We list

important tips and instructions below. If unsure about any point, please reach us through our website at

Aquaglide.com/contact-us.

Note: see Anchoring instructions (below) before inating this item. Strong winds can make it difcult to

control this product. Be aware of weather conditions before installation.

Air Pump - Use an air pump recommended for inating your product. For products this size, use of

a high-volume electrical pump is best. Air pressure requirements are low – 5.0psi (0,35bar) or less. Air

compressors designed for high-pressure ination are not recommended because they can easily lead to

over-ination.

Valve(s) – This product uses Halkey Roberts – type (HR) valves. Valve attaches to

product using a threaded backing plate making it easily replaceable in the unlikely

event of damage.

Access valve using a coin or at tool to twist the tamper-resistant cap counter-clock-

wise. To close, insert the cap and twist clockwise using the same

tool. Note: cap is the secondary air seal. See A.

To inate, an air pump with Halkey Roberts – type (HR) valve tting is

required. Insert tting into valve and twist clockwise to lock in place.

See B.

Valve Operation: To operate Halkey Roberts – type (HR) valve,

press plunger and turn 90 degrees to set valve for inate and product

use (plunger out = 1-way airow). Press plunger and turn 90 degrees

to deate (plunger in = 2-way airow). Note: valve is primary air seal.

After ination, close with cap for secondary seal. See C.

Pressure Release Valve: Product is tted with a pressure release valve (PRV) in

critical chamber(s) to help provide catastrophic protection against damage caused

by over-ination. It is still necessary to check and regulate air pressure to maintain

proper working pressure levels. PRV has a unique setting specied to release above,

and to close near working pressure. PRV attaches to product using a threaded

backing plate, making it easily serviceable. See D.

Proper Working Pressure for each chamber is listed below. Do not overll or underll. Excessive pressure

can cause damage to the product and may void the warranty. Do not use without adequate air pressure.

Product can become unstable if underlled and may not support indicated capacity. Use a pressure gauge

(manometer) to carefully monitor air pressure in the product especially during hot or cool periods.

ASSEMBLY

www.aquaglide.com

Chart 1 – Working Pressure by Chamber - HATCHWAY 10

1. Locate a at, dry area with access to outlet for electrical pump. The best setup position will also make

launching easy. Never drag product as damage may occur.

2. Unfold product completely and locate Main Valve [1]. To help future storage, closely note original folding &

packaging method. Remove valve cap and conrm valve is in inate (1-way airow) position.

3. Insert air pump hose with proper valve tting into Main Valve [1], lock into place. Use pump to inate Main

Valve [1] to Working Pressure as shown in Chart 1.

4. Conrm that suitable anchor(s) and mooring lines are in place before launching this item (see Anchoring).

5. To launch product, lift completely and place in water. Large items may require many extra people to

accomplish this. Never drag product as damage may occur.

6. When connecting multiple items together, always follow manufacturer’s recommendations. Use only

Aquaglide Two-Step Vario-lock cinch straps and connecting rings. Make sure connection is tight and there is

NO GAP between items. Failure to connect items properly may result in injury or death. See E1 - E6.

a. Attach straps to ‘Boarding Features’ (example: Swimstep, Splashmat, Speedway, Breezeway or Deck)

where a connection is required. Boarding Features should not be attached to other Boarding Features.

b. Use all available rings to make connection. Standard connections use 5 rings. Some items use 3 or

occasionally 7 rings/ straps. HATCHWAY 10 is a Track Feature item with 5-ring connections on all 4 sides.

c. Float ‘Boarding Feature’ into desired position. Note: a matching set of connecting rings is required on

feature item.

d. Attach center strap to center ring on feature item. Connect loosely, then work outward until all straps are

connected.

e. Dive beneath to tighten all straps securely. Dive mask and several attempts may be required.

Proper anchoring is essential to the safety and performance of this product. We recommend using Aquaglide

mooring lines and weight recommendations as a starting point. Weight recommendations are intended to

keep products in place during a normal range of weather conditions faced by most aquaparks. Even in so-

called light-wind areas, storms, squalls and other extreme weather events can happen quickly. If improperly

anchored, product can move and/or oat away. Aquaglide is not responsible for damage, injury or loss due to

improper anchoring.

Open Water: (General guidelines - not intended to replace need for professional installation)

1. Place product in an area protected from wind and boat trafc. Conrm allowances for stated minimum

water depth, safe distance away from hard objects and vertical clearance requirements.

2. Consider prevailing conditions such as wind, waves and other environmental factors in positioning this

item. Inatable items can be unstable in strong winds. Slide faces are best positioned toward a breeze, not

across it. Check water and seabed for sharp or dangerous objects.

3. Keep product a safe distance from docks, boats, boat lifts, and any other structures. To prevent potential

damage to product, injury or death, NEVER tie the product to a dock.

4. Use one vertical mooring line for each anchor ring with an appropriate weight anchor, ground screw, or

earth anchor at base. For exposed anchorages or water depth greater than 20ft. (6m), bridles connecting two

rings to one mooring line may be preferable.

5. Anchor weight recommendations are based on the maximum potential wind loads generated by each

item at a wind speed of 26 knots (48 km/h, 30 mph). Weight recommendations are based on the apparent

weight of concrete mooring blocks in either salt or fresh water. If signicantly stronger winds are forecast, we

recommend partially deating larger items or removing items from the water for storage.Sites with potential

for extreme weather, strong tides, currents, winds and/ or swell should consider using up to 50% additional

weight or holding power.

6. Install anchors and mooring lines before inating this product.

Commercial Pool:

1. Product placement in commercial pool should be checked carefully in advance to conrm allowances for

the stated minimum water depth, safe distance away from hard objects (pool edge) and vertical clearance

requirements. Most residential pools cannot meet these requirements.

2. Pool moorings typically use a minimum of 4 horizontal mooring lines made from heavy duty elastic. Addi-

tional horizontal moorings should be added to increase stability and as necessary for larger product groups.

3. Horizontal Moorings are usually attached to pool anchor eyes, such as those used to secure lane buoy

lines. Adjust mooring lines to keep product(s) under tension at all times.

Hatchway 10 is a oating activity for use in water. Users traverse the item by climbing over, around or through

the circular hatchway obstacle. Users may slide onto or off of the item after making sure the area is clear of

other users.

Never gather beneath obstacle wall while someone is climbing. Always make sure area is clear before jumping

or sliding.

PVC surfaces are more slippery when wet, which can lead to loss of balance when walking or climbing. Slid-

ing surfaces will work best when wetted rst. Chemical treatments are available to reduce friction on sliding

surfaces, but are generally not necessary if products are kept clean.

Maintain working pressure: Air pressure depends on temperature. Always conrm proper working pres-

sure before and during use, as temperature changes may affect internal pressure. If the product shows signs

of instability or loss of pressure, discontinue use until the product returns to working pressure and/or repairs

are made.

Spread loads: Do not concentrate more than 300 lbs (136 kg) in one area during use.

Manage Winds/Thunderstorms: If strong winds (25 knots+) or thunderstorms are forecast, discontinue

use. Remove the product from the water and secure or store it.

Check connections: Check regularly to conrm that all connections are secure. Replace connecting straps

that show signs of wear.

Clean and maintain: Check regularly that the product is clean and that all handles and accessories work

properly. Each site requires its own cleaning/maintenance schedule, but regular cleaning and periodic main-

tenance is necessary to ensure the full life of the product. Replace handles or accessories that show signs of

wear.

Check moorings: Regularly check mooring lines and anchors, especially after extreme conditions. Replace

any item showing signs of permanent wear or stretching.

OPERATION

Proper cleaning, maintenance, and storage is essential to help prolong the life of your product. Do not use

petroleum-based cleaners on this product. Improper use of a pressure washer can damage or destroy the

product.

Basic Cleaning: Use soft bristly brush or sponge with mild soap and fresh water.

Difcult Cleaning: For heavy stains, marine growth, algae, mold, dirt and oils check with your distributor, or

on our website, Aquaglide.com for commercial-grade cleaning solutions. In general, be sure that any cleaning

products are clearly labeled as safe for PVC.

UV Protectant: Long-term exposure to sunlight will reduce product life and can damage the product.

Regularly apply a UV protectant to exposed surfaces to ensure the life of your product. The best time to begin

applying UV protectant is when the item is clean and new. Repeat applications depend on site specics. In

temperate climates, apply 1-2 times per year. In tropical climates, monthly application is not uncommon. Find

more information on professional-grade UV protectants from your distributor, or at Aquaglide.com.

Replacement parts: Items like valves, PRV’s, handles, rings and other accessories can occasionally wear

out and need replacement to maintain the full function of your product. Check with your distributor, or on our

website, Aquaglide.com for available parts and replacement instructions.

STORAGE - Clean, Protect, Dry: Clean product and consider applying UV protectant before storage. UV

protectant conditions the PVC material and will help protect against dirt accumulation during storage. Conrm

product is completely dry before folding.

Deate & Fold: Deate product completely: Consider using electric pump in ‘deate’ mode. Close valve to

prevent air return. Fold deated product in similar manner to original packaging. If uncertain, fold in thirds,

then roll loosely toward the valve(s). Enclose product in original storage wrap, if included.

Storage: Store the product out of direct sunlight and protect from environment in a clean, dry location such

as a sealed closet, crate or container to prevent against serious threat of rodent damage. When building or

sourcing storage container, use original box dimensions as a baseline. Size up by at least 15-20% to allow for

imperfect folding. Never store in a damp location or at temperatures below 40 F (4 C).
